What is the root of the broken ear? Does it taste good？

Speaking of Houttuynia cordata Thunb, Ji Nong's hometown called it "broken ear root". It is said that it used to be called "jí ear root" instead of "broken ear root". In Guizhou dialect, it is also possible to pronounce "rhyme" as "fold" if you read it quickly. Why do you say that? Because "cloud" is interpreted as "Houttuynia cordata" in Chinese dictionary. Many years ago, there was a plaque on Fushui South Road in Guiyang City, which was inscribed by Mr. Lu Jiaxi, former president of China Academy of Sciences, "Miao Ergen Development Company".

Because the word "fu" is difficult to recognize, most people don't know it, which is easy to misunderstand. Therefore, in Yunnan-Guichuan area, there are different names such as "lateral ear root", "broken ear root" and "seedling ear root".

No matter whether Houttuynia cordata is called "lateral ear root" or "broken ear root", it is a popular vegetable in Ji Nong's hometown. The delicacies made from broken ears include "broken ears with cold sauce" and "fried bacon with broken ears", especially "broken ears with cold sauce", which is tender and crisp and deeply loved by Guizhou people.

In fact, as a vegetable, people who may like it will always like it and flock to it, while people who don't like it, no matter how delicious it is, will not like it, but will avoid it. Therefore, not only does the ear root have a distinct love and hate in the whole country, but even in Guizhou, not everyone will like the special taste of horseradish.

It is precisely because the broken ear root has a fishy smell that it was rated as one of the top ten most unpalatable vegetables on the Internet by netizens. As a diehard fan of broken ears, Ji Nong is one of the people who yearn for broken ears nowadays, and he also has some say on whether broken ears are bad or not.

When I was a child, I ate cold ear root for the first time. I really couldn't stand the taste. I also avoided breaking my ears at that time. Later, I was forced to eat the roots of broken ears. At that time, in the rural areas of Guizhou, almost after spring sowing, there were few dishes to eat. There is no money to buy other vegetables, and strings of auricularia auricula roots growing in wet places such as ravines, fields and mountain bays have become delicious on people's tables.

Therefore, after passively trying to taste the broken ear root, raw food is still a little palpitation, but frying with bacon is not so strong. On the contrary, it tastes sweet, and I like the delicious broken ear root from now on. Perhaps, those who don't like the dish of broken ears, regard it as the most unpalatable dish, avoid it and don't like it, must have a passive attempt.

Maybe for people who don't like it, broken ears are just a pair of medicine, which is difficult to swallow. For the person you like, breaking the ear root is not only delicious, but also a good medicine. As a delicious food, the root of auricularia auricula has never entered the room in recipes in many places. However, people's recognition of its medicinal value should be much wider than its edible value. In fact, this plant has a long medicinal history and far-reaching influence, so it is clearly listed as one of the plant resources with great development potential by the Ministry of Health.
